- SEED knob- in-hole OR strand exchange engineered domains
- Knob-in-Hole as described in US 5,731,116, US 7,476,724 and Ridgway, J. et al. (1996) Prot. Engineering 9(7): 617-621, broadly involves: (1 ) mutating the CH3 domain of one or both antibodies to promote heterodimerization; and (2) combining the mutated antibodies under conditions that promote heterodimerization.
- “Knobs” or“protuberances” are typically created by replacing a small amino acid in a parental antibody with a larger amino acid (e.g., T366Y or T366W);“Holes” or“cavities” are created by replacing a larger residue in a parental antibody with a smaller amino acid (e.g., Y407T, T366S, L368A and/or Y407V), numbered based on the Eu numbering system.
- SEED Strand Exchange Engineered Domains
- SEED is based on sequence exchanges between IgGl and IgA to create non-identical chains which heterodimerize preferentially. Alternating sequences from human IgA and IgG in the SEED CH3 domains generate two asymmetric but complementary domains, designated AG and GA. The SEED design allows efficient generation of AG/GA heterodimers, while disfavoring homodimerization of AG and GA SEED CH3 domains.
- Light chain mispairing must be avoided to generate homogenous preparations of bispecific IgGs.
- One way to achieve this is through the use of the common light chain principle, i.e. combining two binders that share one light chain but still have separate specificities.
- Another option is the CrossMab technology which avoids non-specific L chain mispairing by exchanging CH1 and CL domains in the Fab of one half of the bispecific antibody. Such crossover variants retain binding specificity and affinity, but make the two arms so different that L chain mispairing is prevented.
- a variety of formats can be generated which contain additional binding entities attached to the N or C terminus of antibodies. These fusions with single chain or disulfide stabilized Fvs or Fabs result in the generation of tetravalent molecules with bivalent binding specificity for each antigen. Combinations of scFvs and scFabs with IgGs enable the production of molecules which can recognize three or more different antigens.
- Antibody-Fab fusions are bispecific antibodies comprising a traditional antibody to a first target and a Fab to a second target fused to the C terminus of the antibody heavy chain.
- Antibody fusions can be produced by (1) engineering the DNA sequence of the target fusion, and (2) transfecting the target DNA into a suitable host cell to express the fusion protein. It seems like the antibody-scFv fusion may be linked by a (Gly)-Ser linker between the C-terminus of the CH3 domain and the N-terminus of the scFv, as described by Coloma, J. et al. (1997) Nature Biotech 15:159.
- Antibody-scFv Fusions are bispecific antibodies comprising a traditional antibody and a scFv of unique specificity fused to the C terminus of the antibody heavy chain.
- the scFv can be fused to the C terminus through the Heavy Chain of the scFv either directly or through a linker peptide.
- Antibody fusions can be produced by (1) engineering the DNA sequence of the target fusion, and (2) transfecting the target DNA into a suitable host cell to express the fusion protein. It seems like the antibody-scFv fusion may be linked by a (Gly)-Ser linker between the C- terminus of the CH3 domain and the N-terminus of the scFv, as described by Coloma, J. el al. (1997) Nature Biotech 15:159.
- VD dual variable domain immunoglobulin
- Fc-containing entities also known as mini-antibodies
- Fc-containing entities can be generated by fusing scFv to the C-termini of constant heavy region domain 3 (CH3-scFv) and/or to the hinge region (scFv- hinge-Fc) of an antibody with a different specificity.
- Trivalent entities can also be made which have disulfide stabilized variable regions (without peptide linker) fused to the C-terminus of CH3 domains of IgGs.
- Fc-less bispecifics are characterized by generally having smaller size than Fc-containing entities.
- Common bispecific of this class include Fab-scFv2 and Fab-scFv molecules.
- This class also includes, e.g., BiTEs (bispecific T-cell engagers), diabodies, TandAbs (tetravalent tandem antibodies), and DARTs (dual affinity retargeting molecules).
- BiTEs are created by fusing two scFvs via a flexible linker peptide.
- Diabodies consist of two VH and two VL domains from two different antibodies. Interaction only with complementary domains on another chain is achieved by attaching domains with short linker peptides which permits pairing only with VH and VL domains.
- VH of the first binder linked to the VL of the second binder is co-expressed with the VH of the second antibody linked to VL of the first antibody.
- TandAbs molecules are generated by functional dimerization of a protein consisting of four antibody variable H- and L-chains in an orientation that prevents intramolecular pairing.
- DARTs are entities that are stabilized by disulfide bonds which apply a similar design concept to that of diabodies.
